I thought it might be useful for some of our members and for some of our visitors to get an idea of the equipment we use for the different forms of photography we produce. Our equipment lists don't have to be limited to just macro or micro photography. Many of us perform different types of photography in addition to macro or micro photography. Since this is my idea, I'll lead off first.
